Cardi B had some things to say about the #MeToo Movement or the lack thereof within the Hip-Hop community. 

The rapper recently had an interview where she discussed the time where she was sexually harassed during a magazine photoshoot. Cardi stated, “I will never forget how I went to shoot for this magazine and the like the photographer, he was trying to get close to me. Like ‘Yeah, you want to get into this magazine?’ And he pulled his d*** out. I was so f**king mad.” 

The Bronx rapper also recalls how fast she left off of the set because of his inappropriate behavior. Cardi then went on to talk about how the #MeToo movement isn’t reflected in the “hood”. “When I see the #MeToo movement, there’s girls from the ‘hood, I know they went through the same type of treatment… It happens really every day.”  she continued, “A lot of video vixens have spoken about this, and nobody gives a f**k. When I was trying to be a vixen, people were like, ‘You want to be on the cover of this magazine?’ Then they pull their d**ks out. I bet if one of these women stand up and talks about it, people are going to say, ‘So what? You’re a ho. It don’t matter.”

Cardi then went on to say that she does not get sexually harassed at that level anymore and it so, she will quickly put them on blast on Instagram.
